Challenge.

QUEENSTOWN, March 2s.-The Daunt.
less crossed the imaginary line designated
as the finishing point of the ocean race by
actual time precisely 23 hours and 40 min
utes behind the Coronet.
The experience of those on board set at
naught that of the crew and guests on the
Coronet. They say that the Dauntless,
being the smaller vessel, was pitched about
in most bewildering way, and to prevent
her from laundering she was hove to sew
eral times. He sails were split and lost,
and the rigging was parted several times by
the heavy strain put upon it. Captain
Samuels and the crew are badly used by
the shaking they received.
The defeated yacht Dauntless WAS not
sighted of ROche's Point until 4:3O o'clock
this afternoon. She was then five miles of
Roche'e Point, and was bowling along un-
der full spread Of canvass before a light
southwest wind.
number of steam yachts and crafts OF
all kinds are now assembled in the harbOr
awaiting her and will give her q hearty
reception.
The officers OF the COronet and other
yaehtsmen are greatly pleased with the re-
suit Of the race, and say it has served to
show admirable qualities in both yachts.
Considering the difference in the tonnage
and length of the two yachts and the ex-
traOrdinarily heavy weather which pre-
vailed during the voyage, the Dauntless is
thought To have done as well as her COM
petitOr. The officers and friends of both
yacht will be entertained by the members

The Dauntless crossed the finishing line
at 6:45 O'Clock, her actual time for one
passage was 10 days 1 hour 43 minutes
aud Is seconds. She has been towed into
the harbOr and is now safely at anchor.

A DARING THIEF.
Complete Details of the Attempted Bank
Robbery in Nova Scotia.


ANTIGONIsH, n. s., March 2s.-The at
tempted bank robbery and murder here on
Saturday WAS one of the most daring in the
criminal annals of Canada.
The offender is said to have been the
principal in 4 bank robbery at Lewiston,
Me-, whence he escaped to Nova Scotia.
He is is Stanley Steele. of Guysboro, n. s.
His wife aud family are i'll Boston.
He is an accomplished penman, refined in
appearance and of excellent address.
He came to Antigonish on Friday after
noon, registered at the Central House,
directly opposite the Merchants Bank
Agency, and went at once to his room.
Saturday forenoon he went to the station
and made particular inquiries about the
departure of trains, and then called at the
bank and made some inquiries about cash
ing draft.
Manager Harris went to dinner at noon,
leaving Teller Currier and boy in the
bank. At 1890 Steele entered the bank
and said he would like to see the Teller in
the private Office. They retired to the
room, Steele closing the door behind him.
In "A moment the rObber drew his two re-
vOlvers from his coat pocket, one in each
hand and pointing one at Curriers' head
and the other at his heart, called on him
to throw up his hands.
CurTier is twenty.siX years old, six feet
tall and strong, wiry fellow. He threw
ND his hands, and in doing so sprang
upon his aSsailant. At the same instant
Steele fired and q bullet struck Currier in
the forehead. A life.and death struggle
ensued, Currier graphing with the muir
derous burglar with the desperation of
despair. In the struggle Steele aimed a
shot at Curriers' heart and sent a bullet
into his left side, which travelled along the
rib four inches, then came out OF his body
and lodged in the wall. All this was done
in half a minute.
McGillivray, the boy, rushed into the
private office, and Steele covered him with
his revolver, and the boy ran out into the
banking room, Jumped the counter and
ran into the adjoining building for assist
ance. A score of men rushed TO the rescue,
and Steele was secured. He was told that
CuIricr was dead, and received the news
with the utmost cOmpOsure. He said that
the first shot which entered Curriers' head
was fired by accident, but when it became
matter of life and death with him he de-
termined to kill Currier. His original OBJ
ject was to frighten Currier into silence by
revOlvers, and he was greatly surprised at
his resistance. He then concluded to kill
Currier, choke the boy, take the money,
rush to the station and get away on the
train ,vhich unuId leave in a few minutfS
The bullet has been extracted from Cur
rier's head and the doctors hope for his
recovery. Had Steele succeeded in his
desperate attempt he would have secured
$50, 900.

The CZar Holds the Key.

PARIS, March 2s--A sensation has been
caused by the publication Of reported
conversation between NJ. Fourens, French
Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the cor
respondent of the NOrOe Trelnyd, Of st.
Petersburg.
Although the story is officially declared
to be incorrect, but little value is attached
To the denial. According to the pub
lished report NJ. Flourens says:
'I entered Office with the full conviction
that the key to the European policy was
in St Petersburg. While Russia is with
us, war with Germany is impossible.
Germany, by the chance Of her states dis
uniting, would suffer more than any
power by defeat; therefore she has no
course left but to live on good terms with
Russia and with u.s. Russia came forward
for us in moment of danger, and we will
not remain with folded arms should she
be endangered.
Mr.. FlOurens professed that he had little
fear Of the new alliance Of Italy, Austria
and Germany. Italy being mainly naya!
power Germany and Austria could give
her nothing, and she would have no inter
est in taking part in war against France.
He believed that the Bulgarians them
selves, or the Turkish Government, would
expel the Regents, and Russia will have
no need TO interfere in Bulgaria. The sit
uation there, he thought, was unwarlike.
Touching Frances relations with England,
he said no complications were likely to
arise. England would sooner or later quit
Egypt, and she could not dream of contin-
nal cOnuueStS

Failure tn Settle the New Orleans strike
The Situation Serious.
NEW ORLEANS, March 2S.-It was gen.
orally believed and universally hoped that
q solution of the difficulty between the old
and the new cotton mems councils would
he reached yesterday and that work in the
presses, which was suspended on Thurs
day, would be resumed to-day, but the OPP
posing elements failed to agree.
No cotton can be moved, as the new
council, which is on strike, embraces in Its
organization class Of skilled labor which
cannot be dispensed with in handling the
staple and which cannot be replaced.
At late hour Saturday the various
weighers and reweighers and classers re-
ceiyed written notices from their employ
ems, the factors and buyers, that they
should report for work as usual this morn
ing, otherwise their services would be dis
pensed with. This action was in accord
ance with the resolution passed at the
meeting Of the Association yesterday after
noon. The notice however, had no effect,
as the weighers, reweighers and classerS
feel certain that their places cannot be
filed. The old cotton mems council
stands firm in their refusal 70 dishand and
join the new council, and the situation Is
serious. While the trouble continues no
cotton can he shipped or sold and the
trade Is paralyzed.

NEW YORK, March 2S.-Sinee the time
when the members Of the Irish National
League, of Boston, with John Boyle
o OReilly at their head, issued the announce
ment that 81, 900 reward would be paid il
an informer could be found TO tell who as.
sassinated Lord Frederick Cavendish and
Mr.. Burke, in Phoenix Park, Dublin,
nothing has occurred in this country that
has created such a sensation among the
Irish.American element as the procl anna
ton by John Fitzgerald, President of the
Irish National League OF America, pub
lished yesterday.
Ostensibly an appeal for money to help
along the Parnellite mode of warfare, il Is
thought by many TO be really call IL
arms and distinct threat that prepare.
tions will be made on O large scale to carry
ont the work of dynamite explosions which
was the order OF the day two years ago in
London and other large centers Of English
population. John Fitzgerald and Mr.. Egan
both do business in the same town, Lin.
coin, Neb.
If Irish sentiment both here and in
Brooklyn is to be believed there will soon
be the beginning Of time Of blood and
thunder" in England should the coercion
act be passed by Parliament.
Several advanced Irish Nationalists from
this and neighboring cities met last even
ing at the house of VIM. J. Knaud, to dis.
cuss the present position OF the Irish ques'
ton and to suggest what in their opinion
should be done to meet the proposed coer-
cion act. Mr.. Knaud presided, and his
speech was the most important Of the even.
ing He said il was a waste of time ia
rely any further on Parliamentary effort,
and that if anything was TO be done II
should he in the line of force Of some form
or other, 50 that tine English would under
stand that the day for speech making and
wordy resolutions, which hurt nobody,
had passed. He added:
Mrs. Parnell, mother of the great Irish
leader, was under this roof for several
months, and what told her many times ]
now repeat, that while Parnell may be an
aDle lntu, HIS uStIulUtSs HAS Tt.tCIltu lts
limit and the work of the Irish Nationalist
henceforth must he revolution with dyna-
mite or other force that will help TO remove
the oppression. Applausel. The senti-
ment of the world is with u.s. but that does
not keep the Irish in their homes, does not
stay the work Of the prosecutors. Other
weapons are required, weapons that science
has put in our hands-dynamite and gun
powder. [Applausel.
'How can we fight, do you ask? Look
here pointing TO old swords and guns aud
revolverS that he brought back from the

see these? We have given up attempting 10
fight England with such weapons. We
will fight her now with dynamite, poison,

GIBBONS ON K. OF L.
THE AMERICAN CARDINALS REPORT on
THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
The Connection Of Religion With Labor OrganiEs-
tiOns-Prests as Conductors Of the Organl-
zatons- Violence and St1kes-A
Good Word for Labor

ROME, March 2S.-The text of Cardinal
Gibbons report on the Knights of Labor as
published in the NOaiteur De Rome shows,
that several additions have been made to
the report as originally published. Refer
ring to the object ions urged against the Or
carnations, the Cardinal says: 'It is OBJ
jected that in this kind of organizations
Catholics mix with PrOtestants to the peril
of their faith. Amongst a mixed people
like ours separation of religions IN
civil affairs is not possible. TO suppose
that the faith of Catholics suffers shows
ignorance of the Catholic workmen ol
America, who regard the Church as their
mother. They are intelligent, instructed,
devoted and ready to give their blood as
they give their hard earned gains for her
support and protection"
TO the question whether it would not
be better to
HAVE THE ORGANIZATIONS CONDUCTED By
PRIESTS
under the direct influence Of religion, the
Cardinal frankly replies that he thinks it
neither possible nor necessary.
..In our countries" he says, I'VE have
abundant means of making Catholics good
without going so far
1t being objected that the liberty of the
organization exposes Catholics to deadly
influences, vices and associates
more dangerous than even atheists
Communists and Anarchists the Cardinal
saws it was true, but that the proof of the
faith would not try American Catholics.
To such influence they were exposed every
day and they knew them well and de-
spised them. The leaders of the Knights OF
Labor related how those violent, aggressive
elements strove to gain authority in their
councils or insinuate persons into the
principles of the association, and also told
of the determination with which they
were repelled. Danger would arise from
cOldneSs between the church and her
children which nothing would more surely
occasion than imprudent condemnations.
Special stress being laid upon the
VIOLENCE,
even to the shedding of blood, which has
characterized several strikes inaugurated
by workingmcn's associations, the Cardinal
says: 81 have three things to re-
mark First, strikes are not
the invention of the Knights, hut as per
petual means by which workmen protest
against that which is unjust and demand
their rights Second, in such q struggle OF
the multitudeS of the poor against hard,
obstinate monopoly violence is often as in
evltable as it is regretable Third, the
laws and the principle authorities of the
Knights so far from encouraging violence or
occasions of violence exercise powerful
preventative influence seeking to keep
strikes within the limits of legitimate
action"
